Wow why haven't I been here before? This place has it all in abundance. Great all inclusive food and drink. Activities all day long and high class evening shows. We liked it so much we booked again for next year before we left.

With its own location nestled in the Essex countryside, Five Lakes presents an opportunity to experience our All-Inclusive Breaks in a unique setting.

Recommend

Five Lakes far surpassed our expectations. The entertainments team could have been performing on a West End stage. An extra mention for Mick Dundee and Gemma who were good all rounders, funny but with excellent singing voices. Would really recommend and we will return.
